37: Chapter 37 The two girl groups are going to have a dinner together.

Inside the meeting room of SM Entertainment Company, the atmosphere was somewhat serious.

The nine members of Girls Generation had just rushed back from Japan, and before they could even shake off the fatigue of their journey, they were summoned by the company executives to discuss the adjustment plan for their subsequent schedule.

Nearly half of the originally dense activities for this half-month had been cut, with only the music show stages remaining unchanged.

Clearly, the company had taken into account the incident of Im Yoona falling from the stage and specifically left them time to rest and recuperate.

The person in charge closed the itinerary and added with a solemn tone, "Although this accident in Japan didn't cause serious consequences, it served as a reminder to the company."

"Subsequent promotional activities will prioritize safety as the primary principle, and everyone can take this opportunity to adjust their state during this period."

Kim Young-min glanced at the nine members of Girls Generation, especially lingering for a few extra seconds on the somewhat distracted Im Yoona.

"Yoona! You were very lucky. We had professionals evaluate it, and from that distance, an average person wouldn't have been able to react."

"This Mr. Liu... Mr. Liu Zijun, is indeed very capable, reacts quickly, and is very professional!"

Lee Soo-man, who was beside him, also nodded and said, "Not bad! This security guard also came back with you, right? Section Chief Park, let him rest well and give him a bonus!"

Several members of Girls Generation wanted to say something but hesitated, and in the end, none of them spoke.

The meeting was very short and ended quickly, with the executives leaving one after another.

Tiffany Young whispered to Choi Sooyoung, "Finally, we can take a little breath. With the non-stop schedule lately, I feel like my throat is about to give out."

Choi Sooyoung nodded but couldn't help glancing at Im Yoona, who was sitting next to her.

Im Yoona suddenly stood up, grabbed her bag from the back of the chair, said to Kim Taeyeon, "I'm going to the f(x) practice room," and walked quickly toward the hallway.

Kim Taeyeon looked at her hurried back, shook her head helplessly, and said to Jessica Jung beside her, "This girl still can't stop worrying about Mr. Liu Zijun."

Jessica Jung pursed her lips and said softly, "Yoona is also worried about him. After all, he was injured because he saved her. Let's go take a look too."

This suggestion was echoed by the remaining members.

Im Yoona almost ran to the door of the f(x) practice room.

When she pushed open the door, she only saw Krystal, Amber Liu, and Luna sitting on the floor resting; Liu Zijun and Choi Sulli were nowhere to be seen in the practice room.

Krystal looked up and saw her, asking with some surprise, "Yoona Unnie? Why are you here?"

Im Yoona's gaze quickly swept across the practice room, and not seeing the person she wanted to see, her heart tightened as she hurriedly asked, "Where's Seol-ri? And what about Joon oppa? Didn't he return to the company?"

Krystal put down her phone and pointed toward the door, her tone carrying a bit of helplessness and a hint of some inexplicable meaning.

"Joon oppa was dragged to the hospital by Seol-ri as soon as he returned to the company. Seol-ri insisted on taking him for a re-examination of his wound, saying she wasn't at ease. Older Sister Victoria Song went along as well."

"Gone to the hospital..."

Im Yoona repeated in a low voice, her face turning a few shades paler instantly, her fingers gripping the strap of her bag suddenly tightening.

She had originally thought Liu Zijun would first go to the practice room to see Choi Sulli after returning to the company, and then go home.

She didn't expect Choi Sulli to actually drag him directly to the hospital. That intimacy and sense of "of course" made an indescribable sourness well up in her heart.

Amber Liu saw that her expression wasn't right and quickly spoke up to smooth things over.

"Don't worry, Yoona Unnie. Joon oppa's injury is no longer a big deal. Seol-ri is just too nervous and insisted on having the doctor check it again to be sure."

Im Yoona forced a smile and nodded, "I know, I just came by to see... then I'll head back first."

Just as she finished speaking and was about to turn out of the practice room, she was blocked by the remaining eight members of Girls Generation.

Krystal and the other two explained everything to them once more.

Sunny looked at the somewhat absent-minded Im Yoona and the slightly confused f(x) trio.

This little one was a real sharp one!

She suddenly said, "Everyone hasn't had dinner yet, right? Since Seol-ri and the others went to the hospital, they probably won't be back for a while.

How about this: tonight we'll go to a Chinese restaurant near the hospital for a dinner party! We can wait for Seol-ri and the others there, and it'll also be a way to thank Mr. Liu Zijun!

We've also not sat down to eat together for a long time. No one has a schedule tomorrow morning, so let's have a good meal and chat."

Her words were met with unanimous approval from the two girl groups.

Meanwhile, in a private hospital in Seoul, Choi Sulli was tightly holding Liu Zijun's arm, watching the doctor unwrap the gauze on his shoulder to check the wound.

After a careful examination, the doctor said to the three of them, "There's absolutely no problem with how this wound was treated, and there are no signs of infection. However, you should still avoid strenuous exercise for a while and try not to let the wound get wet."

This doctor's status in The Peninsula was not low, even if the two girls opposite him seemed to be celebrities.

He couldn't help but complain, "And you, the patient, why did you have to listen to that little girl's words?

This wound was just bandaged this morning; there's absolutely no need to come back for a check-up at this time!

Are you not afraid of the pain, or what?"

Hearing the doctor's words, Choi Sulli's small face under her mask turned bright red with embarrassment.

Just now, she had only said she wasn't at ease, and Liu Zijun had said just one word—"Unwrap!"

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a bit shy, a bit apologetic, and then said with great heartache, "Oppa, I'm sorry! It was my selfishness! But you must listen to the doctor. After we go back, I'm going to check every day to see if you're listening to the doctor properly!"

Liu Zijun helplessly ruffled her short hair and said with a smile, "This has nothing to do with you; I'm the one who told the doctor to unwrap it. The doctor said it's fine, so you little girl, are you at ease now?"

Victoria Song stood to the side, watching the two of them interact so intimately. She really didn't know what to do. Thinking of what Choi Sulli had said, her heart was in a mess. Are they really a good match?

After the examination was over, Liu Zijun said to the two of them, "Since we're already out, why don't you come to my house and take a look? Isn't the Housewarming Feast happening tomorrow? You can help me see what needs to be prepared."

Choi Sulli's eyes instantly lit up, and she grabbed Victoria Song's hand, saying excitedly, "Okay, okay! unnie, let's go see what Joon oppa's house looks like!"

Victoria Song also nodded, but her phone suddenly rang.

After hanging up, she looked at the two of them and said, "Seol-ri, and Ji-Jun, maybe we can't head over right away.

Taeyeon senior just called. She said the Girls Generation seniors and Krystal and the others are all at the SEEK Restaurant nearby, and they're waiting for us to go eat together!"

Choi Sulli was a bit surprised and even pouted her lips slightly, but she looked at Liu Zijun, clearly letting him make the decision.

She had wanted Liu Zijun to go home early and rest.

As soon as Liu Zijun heard this, his stomach immediately growled. He was indeed hungry.

"Let's go! The world is big, but the stomach is the biggest priority!"

Victoria Song also said in Chinese, "That's true! Man is made of iron, and food is his steel; missing a meal makes you feel weak. It's good that you can eat; that's the only way to get better quickly!"

Liu Zijun also said in Chinese, "Oh! Victoria Song, your Chinese even has a hint of a Peninsula accent now."

The two of them began chatting in Chinese.

Choi Sulli soon stomped her little feet and suddenly acted spoiled, "Oppa! unnie! How can you two be like this? Are you picking on me because I don't know Chinese?"

"Hmph! I will definitely learn Chinese as quickly as possible."

This cute appearance drew a burst of laughter from Liu Zijun and Victoria Song.
